Dems urge Biden to halt aid to Peru over protest crackdown https://apnews.com/article/politics-united-states-government-district-of-columbia-caribbean-dina-boluarte-518fac934a1ad6209d90434030889e55

But it doesn’t let me. It says it has already been posted, yet I can’t find it. I also tried to post it in News yesterday and it was deleted.

I won't answer your comments past this one because I don't think we can have a productive discussion. So I'll only answer your two last comment.

​

>She agreed to move the elections up two years. That’s a pretty good timeframe all considered; they’re not gonna do it this year.

Dina saying she anything about elections is meaningless. It's Congress that can decide when the elections are. The only effect she can have on elections is by quitting which would force Congress to have elections as soon as possible (December of this year according to what the elections' organizations said).

>I’d call burning houses down and invading airports a riot.

There has been one house that was burn down and there have been many moments where airports in Peru have been taken. These are illegal actions that shouldn't occur. That still doesn't mean that the mass protests going on today is just "a riot". In the last few weeks there have been riots, there have been strikes, there have been vigils, there's a lot going on nonstop all over the country involving many different people and the one thing they can all agree on is that they want Dina to leave.

So once again, you said "Peru isn’t letting a riot determine the Presidency" and I find that disingenuous.

At the beginning the protest were mostly about backing Castillo, but the reason has long moved past that while the protests have grown. The main reason people are protesting today is asking for Boluarte to leave and having new elections,

And I wouldn't call weeks of mass protests around the country "a riot".

This is a lot more complex than the Americans in this sub think it is. While it makes sense to compare what happened in Brazil to what happening in the US, the comparison fails with Peru. This is bigger than Castillo and not everyone protesting even like him, although the idea of him was definitely a powerful one in the south.

This has centuries of racism and classism behind it and a country with a capital that thinks the brown poor people from the south who are protesting are either savages or manipulated idiots and they’re happy seeing them be killed by the police.
